The Issue

Dog and cat traders snatch animals from the streets, steal pets from backyards. They are crammed together on the back of trucks and driven for days—sick, hungry, thirsty, injured and afraid—then beaten to death or hanged in slaughterhouses or markets. In VietNam, dogs are bred in barren cages, without proper food, water or protection from the elements. Most people across VietNam eat dog or cat, and SaveAnimals is working with local groups to lobby for change.

Dog meat trade facts:

Our VietNam partner activists work all year round to rescue thousands of dogs and cats from the meat trade. Whether crammed onto trucks—where they endure dehydration, starvation, broken limbs, shock and disease—or huddled in the corner of a filthy slaughterhouse, our activist partners are these animals’ last hope

In VietNam, dogs are killed by electrocution; elsewhere, they are usually bludgeoned, hanged or more rarely, boiled alive.

Across Asia and Africa, there is increasingly vocal local opposition to this trade due to cruelty, criminality, and human health concerns.

Dog meat is mainly, but not exclusively, eaten by older, male consumers under the misapprehension of health benefits.

In Ghana and China, most people don’t eat dogs, but there are hot spots and times of the year when and where consumption increases.

In South Korea, more dog meat is consumed during Bok Nal (the hottest days in summer) than at other times of the year. In China, there is increased consumption in “hotspots” provinces such as Guangdong, Yunnan, Guangxi (where the infamous Yulin dog meat festival takes place), Jilin, and Liaoning. The World Health Organization warns that the trade, slaughter, and consumption of dogs pose human health risks from trichinellosis, cholera, and rabies.
